Hear hear Bloc Party! There are many reasons to hate Oasis, including but not limited to the band's:

• dependence on stealing everything the Beatles already did and yet still have the balls to claim they are the best band in the world. It's one thing to buy into the hype machine -- it's another be an ass about it.
• inability to put on an interesting stage show. Their shows are basically watching them stand still while Liam wanders around trying to figure out where he is and reasons he hates his brother.
• self-obsessed blabber (mentioned above). It's one thing to say your the greatest... but to do so while constantly knocking down others around you? It's the move of a coward who is, I suspect, slightly aware of his own mediocrity.
• refusal to use their celebrity/voice take a stance on any global issues. As a matter of fact, Noel is quoted as saying:
  • To Bono, "Play 'One,' shut the fuck up about Africa"
  • To Thom Yorke, "Who wants to sing the news? No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed,' at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play 'Creep.' Get over it."
• (on top of it all) the anti-Blur rantings. It's one thing to not like Blur or hate Damon Albarn, but it's a whole other thing to say "I hope Damon would catch AIDS and die."

In short, they've glamorized beer chugging and churlish, dull behavior.

Sure What's the Story Morning Glory was a palatable album at the time. I predict, in the long run, it won't prove timeless; it will not be the album from that time period that future bands will strive to recreate (as countless bands have done with albums Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Roxy Music, etc)... I guess because they'd be recreating the Beatles if they did.

Has anyone's sound been described as 'Oasis-eque'? In my opinion the only thing they've done is burden the britpop community by provoking behavior that is classless and infantile.
